Special Announcements Susan and I would like to thank you for your Radical Hospitality and your Extravagant Generosity toward us during this past 5 1/2 years.   You have been a wonderful congregation with whom to learn, work and worship.   I suspect that our paths will continue to cross from time to time and we look forward to friendly contacts.   Rev. Dan Faust will now be your pastor and I know that you will welcome and extend your love to him and Sandy in the same way that you welcomed and loved us.   We are so thankful for these years.   Keep us in your prayers and we will certainly keep you in ours.   God Bless you,   Roger & Susan   Roger N.
